‘Low Emission Strategies’
• Reduce transport emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases
• Incentivise low emission fuels and technologies
Information gaps:Quantifying the impacts
• Lack of robust quantitative data to:
– Compare low emission vehicle technologies
– Assess low emission procurement strategies
– Assess low emission planning measures
The Project
• Defra AQ Grant and Greenwich s106 funds
• Contract with TTR, CERC and RPS
• Now finalising the ‘Beta Version’

Underlying principles
• Transparent– Base data and assumptions
– Calculations
• Flexible– Custom vehicles and planning measures
– Access to and modification of default data
– Architecture – updates in data and functionality
• Promote action– Not the silver bullet, but a ‘conversation starter’
Next steps
• ‘Beta’ Version – November 2010
– Data gaps
– Usability
• Widespread release in 2011
• Free to Local Authorities
